Let's start with the main thing: sports for men should be as much a part of life as, I don't know, sex! And if you dig deeper, for some men suffering from an overabundance of testosterone, sex is in itself a favorite sport. But today we will talk about men's sports.
No matter who you are, who you work for, where you live, what you prefer, you will certainly not be indifferent to the roaring stadium, the blinding light of the ring, or the endless slope that the slalom skier sees in front of him. It takes your breath away and makes you want to jump onto the field and help your favorite team achieve a much-needed victory. This overwhelming feeling, this adrenaline rush is what men love to feel so much, that's why there is such a love for men's sports! And we go to gyms, football fields, basketball courts to get even more emotions.
What gives sport?
What else gives sport for men besides emotions? This is certainly a physical form, which is very important for a man, which allows him to feel powerful and strong, increases self-esteem. This is a competitive moment, thanks to which a man strives for better results. There should always be a worm that will drill you, saying: “Look, this boy next door is pulling up 25 times, and you are only 15!” This is communication with people united by one goal - to become healthier, stronger, to develop certain physical skills.
What sport to choose for a man?
martial arts
Many will say that the real men's sport is boxing, karate, judo, aikido or other martial arts. It is difficult to disagree with this, because here the will, strength, endurance, attention and reaction are manifested to the highest degree. While doing such sports, you can develop a sharpness of movements, but inadvertently you can get a concussion, a broken nose, or something else interesting.
Team sport
Of course, football or hockey are very traumatic sports for men, but there, at least, injuring the opponent is not the primary task of the participants. In turn, football allows you to develop the respiratory apparatus, muscles, coordination of movement, teamwork skills, attentiveness, and the ability to make decisions instantly.
Run
If you prefer solitude, communication with yourself, then running is your friend! Daily morning jogs will help you enjoy the freshness of the awakening day, shake all your bones, recharge your batteries for the whole day. Running allows you to keep your body in good shape and protect you from gaining excess weight. Moreover, you can compete with yourself, raising the bar of speed or distance higher and higher and reaching it.
Swimming
And of course, one cannot fail to mention swimming as one of the most important sports for men, which allows you to develop all the muscles of the body and the respiratory apparatus. And at the same time it gives, I think, everyone's favorite sensations from being in the water.
gym
Gym classes are definitely one of the favorite sports for men. Every man is pleased to see how his body improves, biceps, triceps appear, these unattainable press cubes. The main thing in this, truly, male sport is to maintain naturalness. I mean do not abuse various supplements that help build muscle mass.
Regular exercise, proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle in general are one of the best trends of our time. Everyone wants to have good health, and for this it is simply necessary to play sports. In addition, a normal man strives to be attractive in the eyes of women, which involves constant self-care.
All people are different, so some basic exercises in the gym or at home are enough to maintain excellent physical shape and cheer up, while others require various types of street workouts, including game and extreme sports. Moreover, much depends on the interests, goals, daily routine and even the age of the person. Next, we will figure out what kind of sport is better for a man to do at 30, 35 and 40 years old.
TOP 3 BEST SPORTS FOR MEN
Most professional athletes start their careers at a very young age. However, not everyone achieves success. In addition to diligent daily training, you must have natural talent and genetic predisposition. All this indicates that if you start doing any kind of sport after 30 years, most likely, you can not count on outstanding results.
For general health promotion and a good physique, men should pay attention to the following sports:
Football . The most popular sport in the world trains endurance, strength and flexibility. Continuous running and jumping during the game strengthens the cardiovascular system, increases muscle tone and promotes fat burning. Team actions and victory over an opponent bring pleasure and excitement.
Swimming . Unlike football, amateur swimming in the pool does not take so much strength and does not burden the joints, and the benefits of this sport are no less. A great way to lose weight, pump muscles (biceps, triceps, abs), get rid of arthritis, spinal problems and many other ailments.
Tennis . Systematic tennis lessons develop not only the body, but also the mind, as this sport requires maximum concentration and attention. During the game, all muscle groups work, reaction and flexibility are trained. No wonder many famous politicians and businessmen prefer to play tennis.
Important. According to scientists and doctors, the best sports for male potency are running and swimming, and cycling and rowing have the most negative impact. Volleyball and basketball are most suitable for building bone tissue.
Almost any physical activity and sports in moderation have an extremely beneficial effect on health and quality of life. Therefore, it is rather difficult to determine which sport is better for a man to do. Everything is individual. In any case, consider the recommendations presented above and get up from the couch more often.
You can have fun in different ways. Run, jump, somersault, lick a herring, launch airplanes ... However, some types of actions simultaneously allow you to achieve something. For example, eating a cake, a person satisfies hunger, and enjoys tastes / smells. Walking the cow, the shepherd surveys nature, and arranges the accumulation of milk. By participating in wrestling, a wrestler strives to win, and trains his muscles and skills ... By the way, sports. Especially male. Curious - what is the most popular in it, and why?
Prelude to Kindergarten
It is clear that it is precisely those men who are commonly called “real” who show an increased interest in various manifestations of sports. And those who are not interested in sports - so it turns out - artificial, illusory, not real. Well, let's not touch on the pathological side yet. Let's be curious about the "real". Why are they like this? Because they love men's "games". Because in the process of participating in some kind of sport, they use energy, skills, or something else. Because they like being active. Because they enjoy producing testosterone (and then using it). Because manifestations of danger, rudeness, activity, aggression are interesting - but not ways of survival, but as peculiar tools. In general, they treat their favorite toys like children. We go to the "kindergarten" and we.
What do men prefer?
Boxing. You can remember many, but the Klitschko brothers alone will be enough for us. They are real. I mean, tough, agile, strong, cute. Do men like it in relation to themselves? Yes. Many people love to fight. But they pretend to be shy. Even despite the fact that some boxers are taken out of the ring with their feet first.
American football. This is something transitional – sometimes from football to boxing, sometimes in the opposite direction. The qualities are demonstrated the same as in boxing. Plus speed, the presence of a "pack" and again a fight. But now not one on one, but wall to wall.
Hockey. Almost football, but on ice, with sticks and a puck. A cruel and dangerous sport in its own way. Having caught a flying puck in the forehead, you will understand why. Extreme. Sometimes it's like boxing, sometimes it's like figure skating. But it is always clear - a coward does not play hockey. Even frostbitten.
Rugby. For some reason, American football immediately comes to mind, but without accessories (shoulder pads, helmets). Speed, quickness, strength, dashing, actions that are especially understandable to the dentist ... Real men.
Football. Ordinary. Classical. But it has masses of spectators, of whom practically no one will be able to run across the field for 90 minutes. At least in circles, at least in eights, at least along any other trajectory. Especially if the ball hits the top of the head. Handsome? Yes. Fast? Yes. Smart? Maybe.
Golf. Intelligent. Relatively calm. But still - for real men. Which can not only satisfy your thirst during the game, but also remember 19 holes, talk, and make the most complex calculations in your mind (taking into account wind, weather, ocean level, and much more). Handsome.
Sumo. For an amateur. Because not every native of the Earth recognizes this heavyweight (two opponents, each 300 kilos ...) real Japanese wrestling. Especially since there are women there too. So what? Women are everywhere. But this does not prevent real men from being real men. Imagining - imagining. Rabbits - rabbits. Cheburashka - Cheburashka.
mixed martial arts. Well, here is the finish line. And, often - long before the start. But, in the future - a knockout. And it remains only to apply maximum strength, dexterity, skill and patience so that this knockout does not turn out to be yours. If this does not work out, you will have to get acquainted with representatives of the Red Cross. . Strong guys. They literally fly on the ground. So you can not talk about speed - although not personal, but technical. For it is possible to miss the moment when the flight moves from a horizontal plane to a vertical one. Esoteric. Risk boys. And so they are real. 
auto racing.
The same technique, but now there are twice as many wheels. The speed is also sometimes such that the head turns more slowly. Does it excite? And how! But at the same time it is very focused. Otherwise, it's vertical again. And the track is from bottom to top.
Karate is the best sport for older men.
And I will prove it to you now. Judge for yourself - everything that is so necessary for an adult man, even if he is just starting to play sports, is given karate training.
There is always a run at the beginning of the lesson. Running is the foundation of the basics and you probably considered it as one of the possible options for playing sports. Now you will have running, but there will be many other things that are no less useful.
For example, flexibility exercises. Stretching is one of the most important elements of karate and a lot of attention is paid to it. But after all, stretching, especially at our age, is not only, or rather, not so much for the amplitude of the blow, it is simply necessary for health, for the joints and spine, to preserve youth. All these newfangled types of fitness - Pilates, yoga, stretching, etc. are based on stretching and they came up with it, and implement it, and very smart people use it. Karate gives us all this as well.
Now let's talk about kata and kihon. This is a basic technique reminiscent of gymnastics, mainly swing, imitating strikes and defense against them. Than stupidly doing inclines and bridges in a fitness club, doing these exercises is much more interesting. The load gives an impressive and a person gets excited while doing this. However, the load is an individual matter and your coach will determine it for you, based on your current state.
Physics, exercises for strength and strength endurance, karate, as you understand, pays special attention. A karateka without strength and speed is not a karateka. Moreover, exercises are used, as a rule, with their own weight, which minimizes the possibility of injury. Push-ups, light dumbbells, jumping jacks, and especially abs are the pillars of physical fitness.
The bar, of course, is good, but there are a lot of contraindications there. The best exercises (for example, squats and deadlifts) are the most traumatic and with the most complex technique, you can not do without a personal trainer. And not all guys over 40, due to accumulated sores, it will be useful to pull heavy weights. Understand, I am not against the bar in principle, but only as an addition to dynamic loads and flexibility exercises.
With that figured out, let's move on. What man doesn't like to fight?)) to throw out adrenaline in comfortable and safe conditions - nothing is better than light sparring. And there is no need to be afraid - in the fighting hall everyone respects and cherishes each other. I guarantee that you will not get any injuries, unless you suddenly decide to become a world champion and prepare seriously for the competition)) and in this case the risk is not great.
About the atmosphere and friendship. Such universal mutual assistance and respect, as in the fighting sections, is not, perhaps, anywhere else. And it doesn’t matter if you have a black belt or you are in training for the first time, no one will look askance, will not smile if it doesn’t work out. On the contrary, everything will be. Here, everything is not at all like in a fitness club or a football team.
But if you are still shy about your physical form, then there are many sections for the same as you, poorly trained and not very young. And let it not necessarily be karate, but any other martial art - boxing, kudo, sambo, some kind of capoeira or taekwondo. The principles are almost the same.
Well, prices are also important. The cost of training in a martial arts group is an order of magnitude lower than in the same fitness club, even if you save money on an instructor there (and this cannot be done).
Well, more. Classes in a group motivate and do not allow to shirk much more effectively than individual classes. I hope that I have convinced you and you will make the right decision when choosing the sport you will start doing))
At first glance, there can be no questions here, and if they do, then the answer for most men is unequivocal: sports are good for potency and for health in general. However, everything is not so clear. And first of all, it is necessary to divide the general concept of sports into professional and amateur.
Professional sports
The conclusions of doctors are disappointing: any professional sport has a negative impact on male potency. We are talking about classes, the purpose of which is to win competitions, set a record, etc. This requires such serious training that the body's strength is greatly depleted, and the very desire for intimacy arises only after a few hours, or even the next day. As a result, erection problems arise due to excessive loads that the body experiences constantly, and is thus in a state of continuous stress. In addition, after such intense training, the level of testosterone in the blood decreases by an average of 30-35%.
According to statistics, almost all professional athletes have serious problems in the intimate sphere. In half of the cases, problems are solved within 2-3 years, in the rest, more time is required. in men, they also appear on the background of taking steroids and other sports drugs. In this case, the restoration of men's health requires even more time and effort.
amateur sports
It is sports for the sake of pleasure or for the purpose of maintaining health that have a positive effect on male potency. However, there are some nuances here: not all sports are beneficial.
Beneficial sports. Most active sports are useful. These are running, football, basketball and other sports games, swimming, wrestling and martial arts (without injuries). It is also useful to visit a fitness club, including strength exercises with weights. During classes, the cardiovascular system works more actively, blood rushes to the pelvic organs. Also, after exercise, especially strength, the production of testosterone is activated, therefore, immediately after the average intensity of exercise, physical attraction may occur.
Harmful sports. Sports that negatively affect men's health include all "sitting": cycling, rowing, chess and others. It is especially not recommended to engage in cycling because of the constant pressure on the perineal area. At the same time, for example, an hour of driving once a week will not affect potency in any way, and more serious exercises can cause erection problems, premature ejaculation and other unpleasant consequences.
